TOS Crew Manifest

Senior Staff

Kirk enlisted in Starfleet Academy with the help of a man named Mallory, whose son would later serve under Kirk on the USS Enterprise.2 Kirk gained a reputation as a hard worker at the academy - his close friend Gary Mitchell would later refer to him as "a stack of books with legs". Whilst at the Academy Kirk was assigned to teach some classes. Upperclassmen often warned new cadets that in Kirk's class "you either think or sink".1 Possibly Kirk's most notorious incident came when he took the Kobayashi Maru scenario which was designed to test the character of a cadet faced with a "no-win" situation. Kirk stubbornly refused to admit that any situation had no resolution, and after failing twice he reprogrammed the simulation so that it was indeed possible to succeed, becoming the only person in Starfleet history to beat the no win scenario. Kirk's daring action earned him a commendation for original thinking.3

During his time at the academy Kirk served as an Ensign on the NCC-1371, USS Republic. On one occasion he was forced to log a mistake made by his friend Ben Finney, earning his friend a reprimand. Finney would long harbour a grudge against Kirk over the incident.4

Kirk's first post after graduation was as a Lieutenant under Captain Garrovick on the NCC-1547 USS Farragut, where he served as tactical officer. On Tycho IV a dikironium cloud creature killed 200 of the Farragut's crew, including Garrovick. Kirk would long blame himself for the incident because he hesitated to fire when faced by the creature. However, the Farragut's first officer noted that Kirk was "a fine young officer who performed with uncommon bravery".5

As a Lieutenant Kirk surveyed the planet Neural, becoming a personal friend of the leader of the Hill People, Tyree. Kirk recommended that the Federation fully enforce the policy of non-interference on the planet.6

By 2264 he had been promoted to Captain and assigned command of the NCC-1701 USS Enterprise, replacing Captain Christopher Pike.7 His exploits on board the Enterprise made his a legend within Starfleet. He made more first contacts than any other captain in Starfleet history, a record even Captain Janeway did not equal in her time aboard Voyager.8 Kirk's first contacts included those with the First Federation9, the Thasians10, the Gorn, the Metrones11, the Melkotians12, Miri's people13, the Horta14, the Organians15, the Platonians16, the Kelvans17, the Vians18, the Scalosians19, the Cheronians20, the Excalbians21 and others. His five year mission was regarded even a century later as one of the greatest chapters in Starfleet history.22

Although often a stickler for the rules, Kirk was not afraid to violate them when he believed the cause justified it. Over his career he saved at least three entire civilisations from extinction - the Pelosians, Baezians and Chenari - despite having to violate the Prime Directive to do so.22 In 2267 he refused to attend the inauguration ceremonies on Altair VI despite direct orders to do so, instead going to Vulcan so that Commander Spock could fulfil his pon'farr.23 In the same year Kirk was suspected of causing the death of one his crewmembers, Ben Finney, through negligence and of committing perjury to cover this fact up. He became the first Starfleet Captain ever to stand trial, angrily refusing any deal offered by the prosecution so as to get his day in court. A spirited defence by attourney at law Sam T. Cogley proved Kirk's innocence beyond any possible doubt when Finney was discovered to still be alive, having staged his own death.24

Kirk regarded himself primarily as a soldier rather than a diplomat25, but he was trained in diplomacy.26 Kirk would rarely use force except as a last resort, but when required he could demonstrate tremendous personal bravery. A skilled and determined hand to hand fighter who mixed and matched various fighting styles as needed, Kirk rarely lost anything remotely approaching a fair fight.27 On one occasion he was able to gain the upper hand over an entire room full of Eminians despite the fact that several of them were armed - much to Spock's chagrin when he arrived with a rescue party a few moments later!28 His engagement of the Gorn on the surface of on Cestus III and subsequent one-on-one duel with the Gorn Captain after the attack became famous and was an inspiration to Captain Sisko over a century later.29 When battling Doctor Soran on Veridian III Kirk rapidly gained the upper hand, something which Captain Picard had proved singularly unable to do shortly before.30

Kirk was also a highly capable in Starship combat. His skilled battle against the Romulan warship which invaded Federation space in 2266 resulted in victory against a vessel with the advantage of stealth and greatly superior firepower, convincing the Romulans to abandon their plans for a full scale war with the Federation.31 Kirk frequently used misdirection and bluff against opponents with stunning success; on one occasion he bluffed a vastly superior First Federation vessel into believing that the Enterprise was fitted with a secret system which rendered it invulnerable to attack.9 He used a similar bluff against the Romulans in 2267.32 In 2285 He was able to trick Kruge into sending the majority of his crew to capture the Enterprise, which Kirk had set for self destruct.33

In 2268 Kirk began to display increasingly erratic behaviour, leading many of his crew to believe that he was suffering from a mental breakdown. On stardate 5027.3 he took the Enterprise into Romulan territory and was quickly surrounded. In fact this incident was part of an elaborate ruse which Kirk had agreed to undertake on Starfleet's behalf, faking a breakdown in order to provide the Federation with plausible deniability for his actions. Kirk was able to steal a Romulan cloaking device, giving the Federation a chance to counter this technology.34

So great did Kirk's reputation become that by 2287 the Klingon Captain Klaa believed that defeating Kirk in battle would automatically bring him regard as the greatest warrior in the entire galaxy.35 In 2293 Starfleet believed that Kirk's mere presence alongside the Klingon peace mission to Earth would prevent any attempted attack.36

Several of Kirk's missions involved time travel, and his actions in the past would later earn him infamy with Starfleet's Temporal Investigations agency. In all Kirk amassed no less than seventeen separate temporal violations, the biggest file on record as of 2373. One Temporal Investigations agent summed up the organisation's attitude towards Kirk when he claimed "the man was a menace".29 However, his actions in the past saved Humanity from extinction on at least one occasion.37

After the five year mission of exploration ended the Enterprise returned to Earth. Kirk was promoted to Rear Admiral and became Chief of Starfleet Operations. On his recommendation Captain Decker replaced him as captain, supervising the extensive refit which the ship underwent at this time. In 2271 Kirk claimed the Captaincy back to deal with the V'ger crisis personally, over Decker's objections.38 He eventually retired, but missed the service and returned to Starfleet again.30 He took command of Starfleet Academy for a time, but did not find this a terribly fulfilling post. Kirk was again thrust into action in 2284 when Khan Noonian Singh attempted to steal the Genesis Device whilst the Enterprise was in the area on a training mission. Despite having to cope with a ship full of trainees, Kirk was able to thwart Khan's plans and ultimately left him to be killed when the Genesis Device was detonated. Captain Spock was killed on the mission, sacrificing his life to save the ship.3

Spock's death had a profound impact on Kirk and his subsequent discovery that his friend had implanted his katra within Doctor McCoy before his death led him to commit his gravest violation of regulations. With the assistance of some of his former officers Admiral Kirk stole the Enterprise from Spacedock and took it to the newly formed Genesis planet, hoping that the use of the device may have somehow regenerated Spock's body. This proved to be the case, and Kirk was able to return Spock's body to Vulcan to be reunited with his katra. Unfortunately the Enterprise itself was destroyed during the mission.33

After a time on Vulcan Kirk returned to Earth in a captured Bird of Prey. His return coincided with the arrival of an alien probe of immense size and power which was seeking to establish contact with the long extinct humpbacked whales of Earth, inflicting environmental devastation on the planet in the process. Kirk once again travelled into the past to capture a pair of suitable whales so that they could respond to the probe. He was ultimately successful, and the probe duly left the planet in peace. For their actions in saving the planet most of the charges against Kirk and his crew were dropped, and he was demoted to Captain and assigned command of the NCC-1701-A, USS Enterprise.37

Kirk once again faced retirement in 2293. For his last mission he was sent to escort the Klingon chancellor, Gorkon, to a peace conference on Earth. Kirk was opposed to the mission, and was suspected of involvement in the assassination of Gorkon when it appeared that Enterprise personnel beamed aboard the Klingon ship and murdered him. Kirk was tried and convicted of the crime and sentenced to life on Rura Pente. He promptly escaped and returned to the Enterprise, uncovering the true conspirators and rushing to Khitomer to prevent yet another assassination. Kirk finally retired from Starfleet for good shortly after this mission.36

Shortly after his retirement he was a guest of honour at the launch of the NCC-1701-B USS Enterprise. He was able to lend a helping hand when the badly unprepared ship was involved in the rescue of some El-Aurian refugees shortly after launch. Unfortunately he was feared killed in the mission when the part of the ship he was in was destroyed by an anomaly known as the nexus. In fact Kirk was alive and well in the Nexus, a realm where normal time and space did not apply. Kirk ultimately left the Nexus to lend assistance to Captain Picard in thwarting the plans of Doctor Tolian Soren. Although successful, Kirk was killed when a damaged bridge collapsed whilst he was on it. Captain Picard buried Kirk's body on a mountaintop on Veridian III under a simple stone cairn. Kirk's final words were "it was... fun. Oh my..."30

Like most of the crew of the original USS Enterprise, Spock has become something of a legend in Starfleet history. He was the first Vulcan ever to serve in Starfleet, joining the Academy in 224940at the age of nineteen.41In his final year he served on board the USS Enterprise;42he participated in that ships mission to Talos IV which resulted in the planet being placed under quarantine.39

After graduation Spock continued to serve on board the Enterprise. His time on the vessel totalled some thirty two years, longer than any other officer in the ship's history - indeed, apart from a short retirement to undergo the Kolinahr discipline on Vulcan3and a few months spent on the same planet after his death,37 Spock served on the Enterprise continually throughout his entire Starfleet career.

Although Spock sought command in his early career43, he later came to dislike the idea of his own captaincy. Nevertheless, he became captain of the Enterprise for training duties only while at the Academy. When the Genesis crisis arose in 2285 Spock turned command over to Admiral Kirk; during this crisis Spock entered an engineering compartment which had become heavily contaminated with radiation in order to make repairs to the main energiser. Spock died shortly afterwards from radiation poisoning and was buried on the Genesis planet.3

Unknown to the crew of the Enterprise at the time, Spock had used a Vulcan mind meld to transfer a copy of his consciousness to Dr McCoy. David Marcus subsequently discovered that the Genesis effect had regenerated Spock's body, and Admiral Kirk took this body to Vulcan to allow Spocks mind to be rejoined with his body in the fal-tor-pan ceremony on Mount Seleya. This was a success, and Spock lived again.33

Spock subsequently participated in Admiral Kirk's journey to 20th Century Earth to pick up a pair of humpbacked whales. Once the Enterprise crew returned to Starfleet he was appointed as science and executive officer of the Enterprise-A,37 a post which he continued to fill for a further eight years. In 2293 Spock's father, Sarek, made peace overtures to the Klingon Empire after the Praxis disaster. Spock volunteered the Enterprise to take part in the talks; when the Klingon Chancellor was assassinated by two Enterprise crewmembers, Spock uncovered a conspiracy of Starfleet and Klingon personnel to sabotage the peace conference. Spock rescued Kirk from the surface of the Rura Pente asteroid in time to go to Khitomer and save the peace conference.36

After his eventual retirement from Starfleet, Spock became a Federation ambassador. In 2368 it was feared that he had defected to Romulus,44but in fact he was working undercover on that planet in order to promote reunification between the Vulcans and Romulans.45 He remains there at present.

One of the longest-serving officers in Starfleet history, it is rather ironic that Doctor McCoy never actually intended to join the service in the first place and frequently expressed his dissatisfaction with the entire service! Born in 2227,46 McCoy always wanted to be a GP in a quiet, rural area where he could build a personal relationship with his patients. He joined Starfleet medical school in order to gain medical training, planning to retire after the mandatory five years service. After a brief marriage and bitter divorce McCoy decided to change the direction of his life, remaining in Starfleet for seventeen years after graduation. He became an acknowledged expert in surgery and several fields of space medicine, publishing many papers on the effects of extended service in space on the human body and other subjects.

An outspoken individual, McCoy was never afraid to voice an opinion or tell others when he thought they where wrong - even those in authority over him. With many Captains this would have made for a disastrous situation, but under Captain Kirk, McCoy became an invaluable member of the crew.27 Kirk even joked on occasion that his CMO was the ships self-appointed conscience. Although McCoy did not always get along with all of his shipmates on a day to day basis, he was capable of an incredible level of loyalty and self-sacrifice when the situation called for it.27 When both Kirk and Spock left the Enterprise in 2270, McCoy retired rather than serve under another Captain. He rapidly settled into civilian life, and had no plans to return to Starfleet.

When Kirk returned to take command of the Enterprise in 2271 during the V'Ger emergency, he used the reserve activation clause to forcibly draft McCoy back into the service.38 After the V'Ger situation was resolved Kirk retained command of the ship, with Captain Spock once again as his science and executive officer. McCoy elected to stay with his friends, and continued on board the Enterprise as CMO.

In 2285 the Enterprise was attacked and badly damaged during the Genesis crisis; Captain Spock was mortally injured while conducting repairs on the ship. Before dying, Spock transferred his Katra - a copy of his 'soul' - to McCoy.3When Spock's regenerated body was recovered from the Genesis planet, McCoy offered to allow the Katra to be moved back into Spock despite the great personal danger this entailed - once again showing the selflessness he was capable of when his friends needed it.33

McCoy retired again in 2293,36 but after some years in civilian life he elected to return in 2300 in order to become a teacher at starfleet medical school. He remained a member of starfleet for over sixty four years after this decision, bringing his total service time to an incredible one hundred and eleven years. By 236447McCoy was nearly one hundred and forty years old, but he still remained an active member of Starfleet - he even travelled to Farpoint Station on the USS Hood in order to make an inspection tour of the USS Enterprise-D, then making her maiden voyage.46

A native of Scotland on Earth,27 Montgomery Scott displayed a talent for engineering from his earliest days. As a child he enjoyed constructing scale models of engineering systems of all kinds; as a teenager he secured a job assisting in the servicing of shuttlecraft for a transport company. In 2240 he entered Starfleet Academy,41 specialising in starship engineering.

Graduating in 2244,41 Scott rapidly began to rise through the ranks. He became Chief Engineer of the Enterprise in 2266;41 it was here that his abilities really began to show themselves. 'Scotty', as he became known, showed a genius for seat-of-the-pants improvisation, often under the most difficult of circumstances.27 Perhaps the highest tribute to Scotty's ability is that during the 28 years that he was Chief Engineer of the Enterprise, no matter what level of battle damage the ship suffered she never once failed to make it home under her own power. It is little wonder that Montgomery Scott acquired the nickname of 'the miracle worker' among his crewmates.35

In 2294,41Scotty retired from Starfleet.48He bought a boat, and was looking forward to retirement.36Shortly after his retirement he was pressed into service one last time when he attended the launch of the Enterprise-B along with Captain Kirk and Commander Checkov. Scott briefly acted as a bridge officer on the ship when it responded to a distress call from some El Aurian refugee transports. Although Captain Kirk was apparently killed during this mission, many of the refugees where rescued thanks in large part to Scott's idea to use the main deflector to simulate an antimatter burst.30

Shortly after retirement, Scott decided to move to the Norpin V colony. He secured passage on board the USS Jenolan, but while on route the ship was brought violently out of warp when it encountered the gravitational well of a Dyson Sphere; the ship crashed on the sphere, killing most of the crew. Scott, ever resourceful, rigged a transporter to hold him in stasis until rescue could arrive. Unfortunately, the Jenolan was not discovered for another eighty years. Nevertheless, Scotty was still stored safely within the pattern buffer of the transporter.

Scotty at first found it difficult to fit in to the twenty fourth century; he regarded himself as being out of place, and something of a burden on others. However, his actions in assisting the USS Enterprise to escape from the Dyson Sphere convinced him that he still had a contribution to make. When Captain Picard 'loaned' him a shuttlecraft, Scotty once again set out into the unknown.48

A member of the most famous crew in Starfleet history, Sulu served on board the original Constitution class USS Enterprise27for a total of twenty one years.41He joined the ship as a physicist1, but later transferred to the helm position.9 Sulu proved to have an exceptional talent for this job, and was renowned as being one of the best combat pilots in the fleet. Off duty Sulu's interests included botany49and fencing; he considered himself something of a swashbuckler and was a keen swordsman.50His interest in ancient weaponry also extended to firearms, and he was able to acquire a 1900s police special revolver which on the amusement park planet visited by the Enterprise in 2266.51

After completing his time on the Enterprise-A, Sulu was promoted to Captain of the USS Excelsior. He spend three years charting gaseous anomalies, a relatively routine mission which was livened up when the ship encountered the shockwave from the Praxis explosion whilst on the way home. Sulu and the Excelsior subsequently played an important part in the success of the Khitomer peace conference,36evading a Klingon vessel captained by Captain Kang during an attempt to rescue Kirk from the Rura Pente prison52before eventually meeting up with his old captain at Khittomer and assisting in the destruction of General Chang's modified Bird of Prey.36

Sulu had a daughter, Demora,30in 2271.41She later followed in her fathers footsteps when she joined Starfleet Academy30in 2289. She graduated in 2293,41becoming a helm officer on the USS Enterprise-B where she served on the mission in which Captain Kirk was believed to have been killed.30

Sulu eventually became one of the most famous Captains in Starfleet history, and today his portrait hangs in Starfleet Headquarters.52

Nyota Uhura was born in Africa on the planet Earth. A skilled musician and singer,10 she was also something of a linguist and entered Starfleet in 225741 in order to work with alien languages. She chose communications as it seemed the closest match for her skills, and excelled in this position. Like most of the senior officers of the original Starship Enterprise she became something of a legend in Starfleet history. She continued to serve on the Enterprise for the entire remainder of her career, apart from the short break between Starfleet's attempt to retire the Enterprise and the commissioning of the Enterprise-A, in which she served as a transporter operator on Earth's Spacedock.33

After leaving Starfleet in 2293, Uhura became something of a diplomat. She toured many worlds, successfully promoting greater integration between Federation members.

Like all the members of the crew of the original Enterprise, Chekov has become something of a legend in Starfleet history. Relatively little is known about his early life; he was born on Earth in Russia in 224554, an area that he would be fiercely proud of throughout his life. Indeed, Chekov had a habit of proclaiming that just about every major historical event or person was Russian.27

During his Academy years Chekov met and fell in love with Irina Galliulin, a fellow cadet. The two enjoyed a romantic involvement, but Irina found both Chekov and Starfleet to be too inflexible and formal for her own taste, and she eventually dumped him and dropped out of the academy. Chekov would meet her later when she was rescued from the space cruiser Aurora as part of a group led by the alternative lifestyle guru Doctor Sevrin. Chekov still had feelings for Irina, but she betrayed him in order to assist Sevrin. Despite this, the two parted on friendly terms.55

After ten years on the Enterprise, Chekov was promoted to Commander and assigned as First Officer of the USS Reliant. Whilst the ship was searching for a lifeless planet for use in phase three of the Genesis project, Chekov was captured by Khan Sing on Ceti Alpha Five. Khan used a native parasite in order to gain control of Chekov's mind and used him to hijack the Reliant and attempt to steal the Genesis device, but Chekov's body rejected the parasite and he was able to participate in the final battle against Khan. Acting as weapons officer on the Enterprise, it was Chekov who fired the shots which crippled the Reliant.3

He took part in Admiral Kirk's theft of the Enterprise in order to recover Captain Spock's body from the Genesis planet.33Later he served aboard the Enterprise-A;37 like many of Kirk's crew he refused promotion or transfer in order to stay with his comrades despite having a rank and seniority far higher than his position merited. Chekov remained on the Enterprise for the rest of his career before he finally retired in 229336 aged forty eight.

Shortly after his retirement Chekov was attending the launch of the Enterprise-B when the ship attempted to rescue a group of El-Aurian refugees caught up in the Nexus - the mission in which James Kirk was believed to have been killed. He acted as the ships nurse for the mission, where he briefly met Guinan and Doctor Tolian Soran.30

Originally a promising bioresearch specialist, Christine Chapel gave up her career in 2261 when her fiancé, Dr. Roger Korby, vanished whilst on a research mission on Exo III. Korby's last message spoke of discovering some caves, and Chapel was hopeful that he may somehow have survived. She judged correctly that eventually a Starship would be sent to investigate the planet, and so joined Starfleet in order to become a part of that mission.56

Whilst in Starfleet Chapel served on board the USS Enterprise, where she met and fell in love with Mister Spock. Spock's Vulcan nature did not allow him to return the emotion, and Chapel found this a source of great sorrow.50Despite her feelings for Spock she remained committed to finding Korby, and in 2266 the USS Enterprise was indeed assigned to investigate Exo III. Chapel was overjoyed when the ship apparently discovered Korby alive and well on the planet's surface, but her happiness was short lived - Dr. Korby had been very badly injured when his expedition failed, and had survived by using ancient technology he discovered on the planet to transfer his personality into the body of an android. Korby's violent actions on the planet led Chapel to conclude that the transfer had been imperfect, creating only a rough facsimile of her fiancé. When confronted with the reality of his existence Korby was destroyed along with the android Andrea by a phaser blast.56

Chapel remained in Starfleet after the incident, and by 2271 she had become a full M.D. and a physician on board the newly refitted Enterprise.38By 2286 she was serving at Starfleet Command, where she directed operations on Earth during the Cetacean Probe incident.37

A Human, Janice Rand served a varied career covering over 27 years. She was Yeoman to Captain Kirk during his historic five year mission of exploration,27 but eventually left the Enterprise. She later returned to the ship under the command of Captain Decker as the transporter chief. While there she was witness to the accident which killed two of the ship's crew.38

Rand later left the Enterprise again, serving at starfleet command33and later on the USS Excelsior. Here she met the young Ensign Tuvok,52who would go on to serve with Captain Janeway nearly eighty years later.57

A member of the NCC 1701 Enterprise crew, Lieutenant Bailey struggled with the stress involved in Starship bridge operations. Although he performed poorly when the ship faced a First Federation vessel, Bailey ultimately managed to gain control of his fears and frustration. He agreed to stay with the First Federation ship as part of a cultural exchange.9

A member of the crew of the NCC 1701 Enterprise, Barrows was part of the landing party which visited the alien pleasure planet in 2267. She was a friend of Doctor McCoy, and spent some time with him on the planet.51

A transporter technician aboard the USS Enterprise, Berkeley was aboard when the ship unwittingly beamed aboard Dr. Van Gelder from the Tantalus V penal colony. He was chided by Kirk for not being up to date on his penal colony beaming procedures.58

A member of the NCC 1701 Enterprise crew, Boma was one of those stranded on Taurus II when the shuttlecraft Galileo crashlanded there. He struggled to accept Spock's command of the party, to the point of open mutiny.43

Chief Medical Officer on board the Starship Enterprise during Captain Pike's command, Boyce enjoyed a close friendship with Pike. When Pike considered resigning his commission after losing two crewmembers in the Rigel system, Boyce argued that Pike would be unhappy without new challenges to face.39

A member of the Enterprise crew, Lieutenant Brent was aboard the ship during the historic five year exploration mission. He served in the science department when the crew was infected by an alcohol-like water molecule in 2266.50 He was also present when the ship took shore leave on an alien Pleasure Planet in 226751; when Khan Singh briefly took control of the ship Brent was one of those who refused to leave the bridge despite having life support cut, though unlike most present he did not recieve a commendation for his actions.59He was present when the ship visited Sigma Iotia II in 226860, when the ship transported a Medusan Ambassador61, when the Enterprise was stranded in a region of interphase space62, and when the ship visited Elba II.63

Burke was a crewmember aboard the Enterprise-A in 2293. He was part of the conspiracy to prevent peace between the Federation and the Klingon Empire, and to that end he participated in the assassination of Chancellor Gorkon. Burke was later murdered by Valeris to prevent him from talking about the conspiracy.36

A member of the NCC-1701 Enterprise crew, Cleary worked on the ship during the final stages of her refit. He was swapping out a faulty module in engineering when an overload caused transporter accident which killed two people.38

Yeoman Colt was a member of the NCC 1701 Enterprise crew. She made captain Pike somewhat uncomfortable as he was unused to having a woman on board, despite the presence of his female first officer. Colt had unusually strong 'female drives'.39

Compton was a member of the NCC 1701 Enterprise crew when it encountered the Scalosians in 2268. The Scalosians accelerated him so that he could live in their timeframe; he was killed when he tried to protect Captain Kirk from Rael.19

A member of the USS Enterprise crew, DePaul served in the navigator's position during the ship's battle with the Gorn in 2267.11 He was also on the bridge when the ship was attacked by sonic disrupters whilst orbiting Eminiar.28

A member of the crew of the NCC 1701 Enterprise, DeSalle was involved in several of the ship's most famous incidents. He visited Omicron Ceti III, where he came under the influence of mind altering plants.68He was also present when the ship discovered the Guardian of Forever.69When the senior officers were captured by a pair of aliens on Pytris III, DeSalle briefly commanded the Enterprise.53

Decker was to be the Captain of the USS Enterprise after it completed a major refit after Kirk's five year mission. He was forced to cede command to Admiral Kirk and accept a temporary rank reduction to Commander for the duration of the V'Ger crisis, something he was deeply unhappy with. Decker had a romantic involvement with Lieutenant Ilia, and when she was absorbed by V'Ger he chose to merge with the machine entity so as to be with her again. Decker was officially listed as missing by Kirk.38

A psychologist, Dehner was on board the Enterprise during its mission to explore beyond the edge of the galaxy in 2265. She was conducting a study of crew reactions under extreme conditions. Born in Delman city, her father was Gerald Dehner. Elizabeth was 21 years old, 5 feet 2 inches tall, and weighed 116 pounds. She had an ESP rating of 088, an aperception quotient of 20/100 and Duke-Heidelburg Quotient of 258. Her EPS abilities were advanced for a human, manifesting themselves as superior performance in guessing games, reading cards, etc. Such abilities were present in both her maternal and paternal ancestry, in one case going back more than three generations. It is partly as a result of this that Dehner became interested in psychiatry - participation in tests and studies of other esper-oriented beings were the subject of her thesis at the College of Medical Science of the Tri-Planetary Academy and were the reason for her posting to the Aldebaraon colony. Contact with the energy barrier at the edge of the galaxy boosted her esper abilities massively, creating a geometric increase that threatened to give her almost unlimited power. However, shortly after these abilities began to manifest themselves Elizabeth was killed in a battle with Gary Mitchell, who had developed similar abilities.70

A Starfleet officer, Lieutenant Elliot was crewmember aboard the USS Enterprise during the 2260s. He was a member of the damage control party which beamed aboard the USS Constellation when that vessel was found wrecked and adrift in 2267. He assisted in various tasks aboard the ship, including assisting Scotty in cross connecting the warp engine control system to the impulse engines, allowing the Constellation to achieve a limited ability to maneuver. He returned to the Enterprise safely with the rest of the damage control party.71

A helm officer aboard the NCC 1701 Enterprise, Lieutenant Farrell was present on the ship when it captured the renegade Mudd. Like many of the ship's male crew he was strongly attracted to the women accompanying Mudd.66He was also present when a transporter accident divided Kirk into two separate people.73

Former close friend of Captain Kirk, Finney came to obsessively hate Kirk after he was put on report for failing to close a circuit in engineering. Finney was so consumed with revenge that he became mentally unbalanced, faking his own death and trying to blame Kirk for it. He subsequently tried to destroy the Enterprise, but was thwarted in his evil plot.24

Geological Technician Fisher was a member of the NCC 1701 Enterprise crew. He served aboard the ship when it encountered the Talosians.39He continued aboard after Captain Pike left, and was there when Captain Kirk was divided into two by the transporter.73

A member of the crew of the NCC 1701 Enterprise, Ensign Freeman visited Deep Space Station K-7 with Scotty and Chekov in 2267. He participated in a small incident with the Klingons who were visiting the station at the time.74

Lieutenant Galloway was a member of the NCC 1701 Enterprise crew in the 2260s. He was killed by Captain Tracey on Omega IV in 2268.76Rather surprisingly he continued to serve aboard the ship after this, and was present when Janice Lester impersonated Captain Kirk by swapping bodies with him in 2268.75

A member of the crew of the NCC 1701 Enterprise, Lieutenant Galway was part of the landing party which visited Gamma Hydra IV in 2267. Like other members of the team, she suffered from the effects of extremely rapid ageing.32

A crewmember aboard the NCC-1701, Garrison was aboard when the ship visited Talos IV in 2254. He was present in the transporter room when the crewmembers abducted by the Talosians returned to the ship.39

A member of the crew of the NCC 1701 Enterprise, Garrovick's father served with Captain Kirk whilst he was aboard the USS Republic, where he was killed by the vampire cloud creature. Garrovick narrowly escaped the same fate.5

A member of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 crew, Lieutenant Commander Giotto worked in security. He was part of the effort to track down the mysterious creature which was attacking the miners on Janus IV in 2267.14

A member of the NCC-1701 crew, Lieutenant Grant was a security officer. In 2267 he beamed down to Capella IV; when the landing party encountered a Klingon agent in the Capellan's camp, grant drew his phaser and was killed by the Capellans. Kirk regarded grant as a young, inexperienced officer.77

A member of the NCC-1701 crew, Ensign Harper worked in the Engineering department and was one of those left aboard when the ship trialled the M-5 computer control system. Harper was killed by the M-5 when he attempted to disconnect it from its power source.65

A member of the NCC-1701 crew, Hendorf was a security crewman in 2267 when he was part of the landing party which beamed down to Gamma Trianguli VI. He was killed by a dangerous example of the local plantlife.2

A Starfleet navigator, Ilia was assigned to the refitted USS Enterprise when it dealt with the V'Ger incident. She was a Deltan, and as such was required to sign an oath of celibacy whilst serving in Starfleet. Ilia had once had a romantic relationship with Commander Decker, and the two still had feelings for one another.

It is at odds with present practice that Kirk would be a serving Ensign whilst still at the academy, but Obsession makes clear that his first post after graduation was as a Lieutenant on the Farragut. Presumably this post was some sort of training placement akin to Nog's time at Deep Space Nine.
